Taking screenshot of a webpage programmatically

Question

How do take a sceenshot of a webpage programmatically given the URL as input?

And here is what I have till now:

// The size of the browser window when we want to take the screenshot (and the size of the resulting bitmap)
Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(1024, 768);
Rectangle bitmapRect = new Rectangle(0, 0, 1024, 768);
// This is a method of the WebBrowser control, and the most important part
webBrowser1.DrawToBitmap(bitmap, bitmapRect);

// Generate a thumbnail of the screenshot (optional)
System.Drawing.Image origImage = bitmap;
System.Drawing.Image origThumbnail = new Bitmap(120, 90, origImage.PixelFormat);

Graphics oGraphic = Graphics.FromImage(origThumbnail);
oGraphic.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
oGraphic.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.HighQuality;
oGraphic.InterpolationMode = InterpolationMode.HighQualityBicubic;
Rectangle oRectangle = new Rectangle(0, 0, 120, 90);
oGraphic.DrawImage(origImage, oRectangle);

// Save the file in PNG format
origThumbnail.Save(@"d:\Screenshot.png", ImageFormat.Png);
origImage.Dispose();

But this is not working. It is only giving me a white blank picture. What am I missing here?

Is there any other way I could get the screenshot of a web page programmatically?
